About this Add-on

This add-on performs searches in the background that, to the search provider, should look identical to searches performed by the user. The idea is to dilute the real searches behind a lot of "background noise" so that it becomes very difficult to determine which searches are real, and hence difficult to determine what the user is actually searching for.

In addition, this add-on disables click tracking, which is on by default in Google's search pages. This feature sends a message to Google telling them which links a user actually clicks on. This would also be a privacy problem, because they'd be able to determine which searches were real by looking at which searches received clicks through to one of the pages in the returned results.
